UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA AT MERCED MASTER PLAN
The University of California at Merced was the first major university campus in the United States to open in the 21st century. UC Merced had the opportunity to further define the role and form of the university at a time of accelerated change in technology and information access.
Four general themes guided the physical development of UC Merced: technology, outreach, sustainability, and model for growth. The 2,000-acre campus was planned for an eventual 25,000 students. It is composed of three primary land-use elements: the Main Campus, the Campus Reserve, and the Campus Natural Preserve. Each has an important role in the three key missions of the university: teaching, research, and public service.
The campus sets an example for urban growth in the San Joaquin Valley, showing how increases in population can be accommodated while preserving the agricultural and environmental basis of its economy and ecosystem. Every aspect of its construction and operation achieved a high level of resource conservation, including materials, energy use, and sustainability.

Three years after Hurricane Katrina, the New Orleans City Planning Commission chose a team led by Goody Clancy to prepare a citywide master plan and a new comprehensive zoning ordinance. While the plan reflects recovery planning in which residents had invested considerable effort, it goes beyond recovery to lay out a vision of livability, opportunity, and sustainability over 20 years for the city’s physical development and its social, economic, and environmental future. More than 5,000 people participated in the community participation process.

AGA KHAN UNIVERSITY VILLAGE LANDUSE PLAN, Karachi, Pakistan
The Aga Khan University Village Land Use Plan creates a 650-acre academic and research community complementing the 450-acre campus and neighboring educational institutions with residential neighborhoods, services, and campus amenities.
The plan addresses access, security, land use mix, and phased development while building upon the region's city building history and cultural values. One of the critical challenges was to ensure the development on the hot, arid site was environmentally sustainable.
It was also important to root the village in its unique socio-economic contexts to establish a sense of place, while cultivating an international community fostering rich academic and cultural discovery on a site with virtually no development or context today.

BEACON YARDS DESIGN CHARETTE / BOSTON SOCIETY OF ARCHITECTS
Keeping in mind the theme of ‘living with infrastructure,’ the scheme proposes an elevated linear public space along the realigned Massachusetts Turnpike and Rail Corridor.
This raised space would become an important link between Lower Allston, the Charles River, the newly proposed West Station, Boston University, and Magazine Beach across the river in Cambridge. This robust network would be the early action investment in Beacon Yards resulting in direct pedestrian and bike connections both between the Lower Allston neighborhood and the Charles River pedestrian and bicycle path, and between Commonwealth Avenue and Beacon Yards along the north-south axis.
In addition to serving as the primary place-making strategy for the proposal, the open space network adds value to the adjacent real estate parcels. Its orientation and organization provide value on all sides and great views toward the Boston skyline.

CHASE NEIGHBORHOOD PATTERN BOOK
District of Columbia Office of Planning
This Pattern Book represents one element of a larger effort by the District of Columbia Office of Planning to provide a strong basis for redevelopment within the Congress Heights, Anacostia, and Saint Elizabeths (CHASE) communities. The Pattern Book is based on buildings in the Anacostia Historic District, but it has broad applicability in all the CHASE neighborhoods. It conforms to local zoning, which sets out the legal requirements for development, and it provides additional design guidance to encourage infill that respects existing neighborhood fabric.
This document is intended primarily for developers planning to build infill housing on vacant lots, but it may also prove useful for homeowners interested in rehabilitating their homes.

Representing a transformative new chapter for the City of Somerville, the Inner Belt and Brickbottom plan serves as a strategic guide for developing this 150-acre area—one of two significant concentrations of redevelopable land close to Boston—into a lively, urban neighborhood. The Inner Belt and Brickbottom districts began as tidal marshes, evolved to support rail yards and heavy industry, and are now underutilized light industrial areas. By 2016 they will be served by MBTA Green Line light rail service, with a direct transit link to the heart of Boston.
Working closely with city leadership, residents, and local business and property owners, Goody Clancy’s interdisciplinary team developed a plan that incorporates:
Evolution of the Inner Belt/Brickbottom area into a vibrant city neighborhood—a walkable transit-served district of businesses, multifamily housing, and community park spaces
Economic positioning that identifies opportunities for development of office and research space, core elements of the city’s economic development strategy
Improved access to and through the area, now constrained by crisscrossing rail and elevated highway infrastructure
Framework for 6 to 10 million SF of new development created through practical, incremental steps that will result in a distinctive new sense of place for the district

CENTRAL ANNAPOLIS ROAD SECTOR PLAN, Prince George's County, MD
Annapolis Road is a 30-mile-long east-west arterial running from Annapolis through Prince George’s County to the outskirts of the District of Columbia. The sector plan focuses on a 1.77-mile, 250-acre segment of Annapolis Road with the goal of creating development and related zoning frameworks A major influence on the study’s process and recommendations has been a planned Light Rail Transit station – part of the new Purple Line connecting Bethesda to New Carrollton – to be located at the intersection of Annapolis Road and Veterans Parkway.
One of the key objectives of the planning process was to examine how the role of a state highway can be reconciled with the goals and aspirations of those for whom the surrounding areas constitute a real neighborhood. How do we transform a fleeting arterial into a memorable boulevard?

CITY OF ALBANY DOWNTOWN PLAN & CORNING PRESERVE MASTER PLAN
The City of Albany and the Capitalize Albany Corporation initiated this market-driven process, with two parallel planning initatives
- a revitalization plan for the downtown district
- a master plan for its adjacent waterfront park.
The plans will establish the park as a downtown amenity, with strategies for overcoming a surface-level highway, which has historically hindered waterfront connections. The process has utilized a series of unique public engagement strategies, which have built early support for the process.
Major themes central to this planning process include:
- Celebrating downtown’s quality of life by highlighting its existing amenities
- Connecting downtown by reinforcing its walkable street network and establishing new connections across I-787 to the Corning Preserve waterfront park
- Empowering stakeholders to invest in downtown by facilitating initiatives built on public-private partnerships and produce shared benefits for all involved
